The Asheville Citizen-Times reports a suspended Asheville City Schools teacher sexually stimulated himself and a child as they watched pornography, according to a search warrant application filed by a city police detective. A sex worker was also found in possession of one of the teacher’s payroll checks, according to the application.

The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office has already charged Aaron Paul Cook, 29, of Asheville, with two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child. Asheville police detective Amanda Buchanan executed a search warrant at Vance Elementary School, seeking information for any child Cook had contact with in an official capacity or for extracurricular activity, as well as Cook’s personnel and payroll records and information about a camp in which Cook was involved.
